YMMV / Rick And Morty S 1 E 8 Rixty Minutes

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Jerry and Beth's tender embrace could be seen as either realizing that they complete each other, or accepting that they'll never be happy in any reality and having a collective breakdown.
  • The poor Leprechaun claims to see demons instead of Heaven in his last moments as the kids butcher him alive. Is God evil in that setting, or was the Leprechaun Evil All Along and getting his just desserts?
• First Installment Wins: Even Dan Harmon has admitted that the other "interdimensional cable" episodes couldn't recapture the magic of the first one and the attempt to turn it into their version of the Treehouse of Horror specials never really stuck.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Jerry being pals with Johnny Depp. A bit awkward considering they both experienced divorces within the same year (2017).
• Iron Woobie: Morty tells Summer the conclusion of "Rick Potion #9" and how he's still quietly living with the trauma.
• The Woobie: Summer upon realizing that her very existence anchored the whole family in mediocrity.
